I still occasionally pay with checks. I keep some on hand if people ask for check payment. My well guy, my child's school, after care, etc. all request payment by check. I would even accept check payment through the swap/sell boards, as long as that person was okay with waiting until the check cleared. I would leave a group who assumed that paying with a check was for those with lower intelligence.
I always carry cash. Someone is always doing something for someone at work ("flower fund") or there's a lottery pool or football pool or for the snack machine or TOLLS so I always make sure to have cash on hand.
